...Crimson men’s tennis team traveled to the mid-west this weekend for a pair of testing match-ups against two top Big Ten teams. On Friday evening, No. 48 Harvard (4-3), traveled to chilly Ann Arbor to take on No. 19 Michigan (6-4), where the Crimson failed to overcome the Wolverines for the fourth consecutive year.

...begins in 1977, when the Marline Uranium Corp., a subsidiary of the Marline Oil Co., began looking for the ore around the state.

In two years Marline had found the monster deposits in Pittsylvania. The discovery touched off a hunt for uranium statewide, alarming communities along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge that didn't want to see horse pastures turned into mining pits. In 1982, the state acted...
